The file you have

What Bandicam records.

Format
MP4 or AVI, chosen in the Video tab.
Where it lands
Documents\Bandicam unless you changed the output folder on the General tab.
Microphone
Recorded only when a microphone is selected in Settings → Sound. With 'Two Sound Mixing' off, microphone and system sound can end up as separate audio tracks.
Typical size
1–4 GB an hour for 1080p; AVI with a lossless codec is far larger.

There is no link to paste for this one. Get the file onto your phone or computer first, then upload it in the box above.

How it works

Three steps, the first one is the only one that takes any thought.

1

Open the output folder

Click the folder icon in Bandicam (or open Documents\Bandicam) and find the capture.

2

Upload it, or its audio

Under 500 MB goes in the box on this page; larger files, up to 5 GB, continue on the main upload page.

3

Use the text

Search the session, read the chapters, export SRT for the published video.

Good to know

What trips people up, and what to do about it.

Example. A 90-minute coding tutorial captured as a 3.2 GB MP4 uploads whole from the main upload page. The transcript returns about three minutes after the upload ends and its chapter list becomes the video's table of contents. Checked 4 October 2026: an AVI with MP3 audio uploaded through this site came back as text.

What comes back

More than a wall of text.

The same four things for every Bandicam recording, whatever its length.

A transcript with timestamps

Every line carries its time. Click a line to hear that second again, or search a name or phrase and jump to each place it was said.

A summary, chapters and key quotes

A brief with the takeaways, chapters with their start times, and the quotes worth keeping. Speakers are identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters.

Questions answered from the recording

Ask where a topic came up or what was decided, and get the answer with the time it was said, instead of scrolling the whole text.

Every export

TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT, JSON from the same transcript: a document to edit, caption files for video, plain text to paste, structured data for your own tools.

Pricing

Free preview. Packs from $4, and the minutes never expire.

FAQ

Bandicam to text, answered.

Can I upload a Bandicam AVI?

Yes. AVI and MP4 are both read directly. If the AVI is over 5 GB, save its audio as MP3 first; the transcript is the same.

Why is my voice missing from the transcript?

Either no microphone was selected in Bandicam's sound settings, or the microphone was saved as a second audio track. Enable Two Sound Mixing so voice and system sound share one track.

What does transcribing Bandicam recordings cost?

The preview and the summary are free. A pack opens the full transcript: $4 for 500 minutes, $8 for 1,000 minutes, $12 for 2,000 minutes, $24 for 5,000 minutes. Packs are one-time, credits never expire, and Workspace is $19 a month if you transcribe every week.

How long can the recording be?

One file can run up to 10 hours or 5 GB. The box on this page takes files up to 500 MB; a larger file continues on the main upload page, which uploads it in parts. Most recordings come back in about two minutes per hour of audio.

Is the recording kept private?

Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training. You can delete a recording and its transcript at any time.
